The worst bit about big industry events for impatient bloggers and readers? The game assets. Oh Lordy, the assets. An absolute landslide of screens, usually scattered about across, ooh, dozens of pages. But not at DS Fanboy! Not on our watch! Because we wub you, readers, we've collected a big old s...

We don't usually post about media of games that are already on store shelves, but this was just too good to pass on. We can't really say much more for ...
